Our Specialist Services
Our experience spans the full range of contentious issues that arise in construction and infrastructure projects, ranging from payment disputes and defective design and construction claims, to delay and disruption, adjudication, arbitration and when necessary, court proceedings. Our services include:
Construction contracts form the foundation of every successful project, but disagreements over contractual obligations can quickly escalate into costly disputes. We can advise clients on claims involving breaches of contract, variations, extensions of time, defects, delays and contractual interpretation issues.
Our team carefully analyses contractual provisions and project documentation to develop strategies that align with our clients’ commercial objectives. We understand the importance of resolving disputes efficiently to minimise disruption and maintain project momentum.
Alternative Dispute Resolution & Mediation
Not every construction dispute requires a courtroom battle. In many cases, alternative methods of dispute resolution can deliver faster, more cost-effective and commercially beneficial outcomes. We advise clients on a range of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes, including mediation, without prejudice negotiations, expert determination and early neutral evaluation. These approaches often preserve important business relationships while enabling parties to maintain greater control over the outcome.

Supporting Clients Through Construction Disputes
We understand that construction disputes rarely occur in isolation. They often arise against a backdrop of ongoing projects, commercial pressures, stakeholder expectations and operational challenges. That is why our approach extends beyond providing technical legal advice. We work as trusted advisers and strategic partners, helping our clients make informed decisions that support both their immediate objectives and long-term success.
By investing time in understanding our clients’ businesses, project delivery models and commercial priorities, we are able to provide advice that is tailored, practical and relevant. We recognise that success may mean resolving a dispute quickly to preserve relationships, recovering substantial losses through formal proceedings or implementing strategies that reduce future risk.
